Kids yoga—in the classroom
|
|
The practice of yoga (which means to unify) teaches us how to use our attention to join the breath, body and mind. When we are able to do this we experience increased strength and energy. We are able to think more clearly and make better choices for ourselves.

There are 3 main reasons for this:
- Breathing deeply in and out of the nose brings lots of oxygen into the body. Oxygen is the fuel or life-force that our bodies and minds need to function.
- Moving, stretching and holding the body in different poses is great exercise for muscles, bones and organs. It stimulates blood flow and the elimination of toxins which is necessary for a strong, clean body.
- Focusing attention on breathing and moving in unison develops inner harmony. The peaceful feeling that accompanies this union of concentration, breathing and motion creates flow in the body and balance in the mind. Visualisation is also an integral part of yoga because the forming of mental images is the way we direct our attention and send messages to the body. Through visualisation we can affect our inner state of being and our ability to accomplish goals.
